Bits of Canadian aviation history changed hands for $32,000 Sunday as a Toronto auction house sold a collection of Avro Arrow memorabilia.
Company papers, employee notices, models and photos — along with a copy of the fateful speech in the House of Commons announcing the plane's demise — went to an unidentified private buyer.
The buyer, who did his bidding by phone, said he is Canadian and the collection will stay in Canada.
